[Garrett Drinon @GarrettDrinon]

we’ve been talking in the @smbcapital Bionic Trader meetings about using the VWAP calculated from lows of candles when in an uptrend

this is exactly what we’re talking about

purple = actual VWAP
blue = VWAP from lows

Here's a high-level summary:

[David Hanlin @thelaptoplegend]

I apologize for being yet another one of the P/L posts from today, but have to celebrate the milestones as they come.

+$1,326,130.12 today (PR), and first 7 figure intraday trade ever, on $BYND.

Thought this gave some really good spots short and long. Definitely could've sized up more on the short but didnt fully trust that 7.50 clearout highs as a risk level while it was still at a decent price to add.

22 Oct 2025: My Charting Layout 📊

Many of you have been asking me about my TradingView charting layout, here we go:

1) Moving Averages

I use the 'Moving Averages For All Timeframes [LevelUpTools]' indicator, this allows me to customize the moving averages I want to see on multiple timeframes without having to constantly change my charting template.

2) Volume Indicator

With respect to the volume indicator, I use the great @TaPlot 's 'TAPLOT Volume Pocket Pivots' indicator.

This is super neat because it allows me to customize the volume bars to visualize 5, and 10-day volume pocket pivot signatures (accumulation), volume dry ups (diminishing supply), and distribution bars.

I've been a long time follower of his on X too so I highly recommend you give him a follow!

3) Stock-Related Data (Market Cap, ADR%, ATR Extensions, etc.)

On this, I took inspiration from @jfsrev 's indicators. This allows me to get a quick snapshot on the technicals of the stock I am trading, and to quickly visualize certain ATR extensions from the 50-SMA where I will be inclined to sell into strength.

Jeff Sir if an absolute gentlemen too, so please give him a follow on X!

4) Relative Strength Line

For the RS line, this came from the @TraderLion team, I like how they've overlayed the RS line with its respective 20-day moving average, pretty neat! As usual, they need no introduction - give them a follow!

Gold trade recap

Context:

I'm more of an equities trader, although im not a fan of labels cause i want to be in the best risk reward setups, no matter the market but this was brought to my attention due to the comments of a few market wizards here on twitter (@Tradestl , @TheShortBear and @TheOneLanceB ) and when they all agree in a trade, you should def listen. Then i started to dig deeper.

- Gold had a textbook breakout back in september where it contracted the range with the same high and higher lows. Up 25% since.

- while it may not look like much, when you look at the chart, you can clearly see a speed up in price action with 5 green candles in a row and showing bigger expansion.

- gap up and double top on the last day

- volume didnt really increase capitulatory levels but we did see the highest volume ever on friday. Even though thats something you only see after the day, volume throughout the day can give on a good idea of how it till be

- lines of people in multiple countries gave a climax feeling to it also

The trade:

- my vehicle of choice was $GLD because i thought it would be the best asset to act like gold futures. Hindsight this was a mistake cause miners offered a much cleaner fade and it also took much of my BP, shouldve taken $JNUG or $NUGT

- I started half my position pre market after it double topped and started rolling over a bit. it started putting higher lows just before open but dumped heavily after 9:30am, exactly the out come i was expecting

- I covered 1/3 into the washout and patiently waited for a bounce to get more short exposure. when we bounced I went ahead and got to full postion

- it seemed like i was a bit early so covered half and then put right back in. Covered 40% when we broke LODs and added it back on the pop expecting more downside dut to the magnitude of the move on the daily

- then when we had another LOD break i thought the action was picture perfect for a swing, covered 25% more and decided to keep the rest.

- after another good bounce, i added again to full position.

The picture doesnt show but it was strong than antecipated AH and since this was my first "commodity trade" i decided to cover half and swing only 50% thru the weekend. Given its macro role, there are so many variables that can impact this trade, so Id rather be safe than sorry.

Did good: I think i sized pretty well given the opp, and had I had full size still, this could become my biggest in the coming days but with half it will still be a good win. Also did a decent job at covering and re adding imo

work on: I have to do a much better job on selection the next time, couldve made much more with the same amount of money elsewhere.

@TheOneLanceB Also how much and when do you wire out in your opinion, money management is also part of risk management and capital preservation, when do you branch out to different sources of income etc

[astra @panatha1034]

@TheOneLanceB Relation between sizing - % of daily risk for each or how much bigger for every better grade, i know it depends on many factors but based on your experience as a trader and a head of a trading floor

[astra @panatha1034]

@Valckrie Appreciated

[astra @panatha1034]

@grok can you be a bit more specific and tagging any related posts

[astra @panatha1034]

@grok can you find any nuggets from @TheShortBear account about his strategy (swing and day trading strategies) list them as bullets for any filters about stock selection and execution
